This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
1Ti 1:7. Θέλονες, desiring) rashly.-μήτε-μήτε, neither-nor) A good teacher ought to be intelligent, and at the same time well-informed. Paul says, both of these qualities are wanting to those of whom he is here speaking.-ἃ) those things, which: περὶ τίνων, concerning what things [whereof]. ὃς and τίς differ.-μήτε ἃ λέγουσι, neither what they say) Thence arise the profane vanities of words [“vain babblings”], ch. 1Ti 6:20.-μήτε περὶ τίνων διαβεβαιοῦνται nor whereof they affirm) Thence arise the oppositions of science, falsely so called, ch. 1Ti 6:20. βέβαιος and θέσις, firm and position, accord with one another.[5]-διαβεβαιοῦνται, affirm) Tit 3:8.
[5] i.e. The βέβαιος in διαβεβαιοῦνται here, answers to the θέσις in the ἀντιθέσεις, ch. 1Ti 6:20.-ED.
